The search for the missing continues on the wreck of the Costa Concordia

Divers make their way into a flooded cabin of the Costa Concordia that is grounded off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy. A large platform carrying a crane and other equipment hitched itself to the toppled ship on Tuesday, signaling the start of preliminary operations to remove a half-million gallons of fuel from the grounded cruise ship before it leaks into the pristine Tuscan sea. Actual pumping of the oil isn't expected to begin until Saturday.

Divers found the 16th body in the partly submerged wreckage of the Costa Concordia on Tuesday. Officials said they couldn’t confirm the identity of the body. At least half a dozen bodies have not been identified yet, and are presumed to be among the 17 victims that are still missing.
